Torino slam ₦4.5billion price tag on wantaway Super Eagles star

The Super Eagles star had an erratic campaign in Turin last term, and he seeks to return to familiar territory, but the Maroons will not let him go for cheap

Super Eagles fullback Ola Aina wants to leave Serie A side Torino this summer, but the Maroons will not listen to bids of less than €10million(₦4.4million).

Aina had an erratic campaign with the Maroons last season. The Super Eagles star was a regular before the Africa Cup of Nations in January, but after he returned, he struggled to get game time under coach Ivan Juric. Aina was benched for eight games after he returned from the AFCON, featuring in only five from a possible 16.

According to Calciomercato, Aina is unsettled at Torino and wants to leave the club this summer, and the Maroons want to get at least €10million from a sale.

The 25-year-old has been linked with a return to the Premier League after leaving last summer. Fulham, Leeds, and Crystal Palace are frontrunners to secure Aina’s services.
